How much will the cheque be? How long will it take to clear? I won't send the car without the cheque clearing as it belonged to my dearly beloved wife... Did I mention the trampoline incident? Very tragic and heartbreaking for both me and my dog "scammer"
Please reply as I have had a telephone call today from someone wanting to give me money for the car.

I'll break the PMSL chain 
Whilst there is no doubt that what Burr is doing is incredibly funny, especially given his occupation, it's also incredibly sad that people are abusing a technology that could be such a benefit to people all over the world. The saddest thing is that it must work 
Those scammers make me want to give up my comfy IT job and join the crime-fighters...
OK, I'm a miserable git.
